ing structure. The device thus constitutes a stable and ireproof base formingran efcement is subsequently poured, thus forming' a complete article of manufacture ready for installation, or the receptacle may be .set in position within a building and the cement poured around the member after it has been so set. In either case, the cement block forms a stable and lireproof setting whereby said base may be permanently held in position.

The specific form and construction of the device is of course subject to modification in the specific details of construction and arrangement. I therefore do not wish to restrict myself to the precise details of constructions illustrated and described, but wish to avail myself of all modifications which may fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,

1. A flue base comprising a cement block; a receptacle embedded within the block; and a cleaning outlet portion connected into the receptacle and extending outwardly through a side of the block to permit the cleaning of the base.

2. A flue base comprising a cement block; a receptacle embedded within the block; and a cleaning outlet portion connected into the receptacle and extending outwardly through a side of the block to permit Ythe cleaning of the base; and means for normally closing the outlet portion.

3. A flue base comprising a cement block; a receptacle embedded within the block; a cleaning outlet portion connected into the receptacle and exten-ding outwardly through a side of the block to permit the cleaning of the base; and a cover member slidably connected to the outlet portion for normally closing the same, said cover member being adjustable to conform to different widths of wall structure.

4:. A flue base comprising a cement block; a receptacle embedded within the block; and a cleaning outlet portion formed integrally with the receptacle'and extending outwardly through a side of the block to permit the cleaning of the base, said outlet portion extending outwardly past the side of the block and being arranged to be received within an adjacent wall structure.

5. A fine base comprising a cement block; a receptacle embedded within the block; a cleaning outlet portion formed integrally with the receptacle and extending outwardly through a side of the block to permit the cleaning of the base, said outlet portion extending outwardly past the side of the block and being arranged to be received within an adjacent wall structure; and a cover member slidably connected to the outlet portion and arranged to extend through said wall structure, said cover member being arranged to be withdrawn to give access to the receptacle through the outlet portion.

6. A Hue base comprising a cement block; a receptacle embedded within the block and extending outwardly through the top there of; an outlet portion formed integrally with the receptacle and extending outwardly through a side of said block; and a plate having an opening arranged to fit over the outwardly extending end of the receptacle, said plate Vbeing embedded in the top of the block.

7. A flue base comprising a non-inflammable block; a receptacle embedded within the block and having one end extending outwardly slightly past the top of said block; an outlet portion formed integrally with the receptacle and extending outwardly through a side of the block; and a plate embedded in the top of the bloclr and arranged to fit around the outwardly extending en-d of the receptacle, said plate having an annular recess formed around said outwardly extending end of the receptacle to receive the lower end of a flue.

8. A flue base comprising a non-inflammable block; a receptacle embedded within the block and having one end extending outwardly slightly past the top of said block; an outlet portion formed integrally with the receptacle and extending outwardly through a side of the block; and a plate embedded in the top of the block and having an annular recess formed around said outwardly extending end of the receptacle, said plate being provided with spaced annular shoulders formed within the recess to receive the lower ends of a iue and a casing surrounding said flue.

9. A fiue base comprising a non-inflam mable block; a receptacle embedded within the block and having one end extending outwardly slightly past the top of said block; an outlet portion formed integrally with the receptacle and extending outwardly through a side of the block; and a plate embedded in the top of the block and having an annular recess formed around said outwardly extending end of the receptacle, said plate being provided with spaced annular shoulders formed within the recess to receive the lower ends of a flue and a casing surrounding the flue; and a cover member connected to the outlet portion for normally closing the same and removable therefrom to give access to the body portion for cleaning.

10. AS an Varticle of manufacture, a lue base comprising a cement block; a metallic receptacle embedded within the block, said receptacle extending outwardly past the top of the block; an outlet portion formedv integrally with the receptacle and extending outwardly through a side of the block; a

plate fitted around the outwardly extending 15 In witness whereof I hereunto set my sig- 20 nature.
